2. Don’t Worry About the Foundation Too Much

The bed frame, base, or foundation is something that a lot of people seem to spend tons of money on, and it’s weird because they’re not that important.

The only reason why you need to buy one is to raise your bed one because you’re not going to want your mattress on the floor. If you plan on buying a platform bed, you won’t need one anymore, and if you already have an old foundation that works just fine, the only reason why you need to buy a new foundation is if your new mattress is going to be bigger too.

Don’t get convinced into buying a more expensive foundation. If it holds your bed just fine, then it’s good.

3. Buy In Person

Unless you’re going to save a lot of money by buying online and can find a way to test out the same product in person, don’t buy a mattress online.

Trying it out for yourself is a crucial part of the process of buying a bed.

4. Be Prepared to Spend Money

But, even if they are a bit expensive, you do get a ton of mileage on them, and quality mattresses will feel as good for as long as you want them to. The quality won’t degrade much, and that means a lot in the grand scheme of things.

When it comes to mattresses, you have to be prepared and you have to be ready to spend big. But then again, what’s a couple of financial sacrifices for a few months when it’s worth thousands of hours of quality sleep for a decade or two?
